For Honor starts free trial weekend

Honour is one of the daftest justifications for killing, but I suppose Ubisoft didn’t want to call For Honor [official site] ‘Because Video Games’. If you want to stab a load of men because video games, this weekend you’re invited to have a crack at For Honor for free. You can now download and play the full game — both campaign and competitive — to stab fools until until Sunday evening. Our Brendan didn’t really dig it in his For Honor review but Michael Johnson told us it had promise. Which was right? There’s only one way to find out. Fiiight!Fire up the Uplay client and you can now download and play For Honor in full until 9pm on Sunday. See this map for times in other zones.

For those who dig it, For Honor is half-price until Monday. It’s down to £19.99 for the regular edition or £34.99 for the Gold Edition which includes the season pass granting instant unlocks of new characters and a load of trinkets, cosmetics doodads, and guff.

Progress from the free weekend will carry over to the full version too.

This comes ahead of For Honor’s big Season 3 update, which will bring two new maps and two new heroes, the Gladiator and Centurion. That’ll kick off on Tuesday, August 15th.
